The Crackdown Continues on Cambodian People Playing Cards

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Sadly they are not rational thinking enough to gamble. No matter how much they loose they will always go back. They dont see their disadvantage in gambling.
You must mean casinos outside of Cambodia coz it's illegal for khmers in KOW.

Also, that attitude seems no worse than many Casinoville tourists who lose it all, borrow more $$ from the loan sharks, lose that and then get kidnapped for ransom from their family members. Not to mention many instances of suicide jumping off buildings.
So what it is illegal? Many things are illegal that goes on around you every day. Its cambodia.

Ha tien vegas is in the cambodian Side of the border and filled with khmer people. Surely the police have no idea just as they have No idea that you can purchase sex in a girliebar, right? After all, that would be illegal in the kow.

Very strong no photo policy. If you use your phone they are behind you in 1 second making sure you dont take pics. And even without camera on you are not allowed to face the camera on the table.

In fairness, they probably don’t want to get within a meter or two, let alone touch one of the snot encrusted pseudo triad business gentlemen that make up what’s left of the prime revenue stream.

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): According to orders by the Phnom Penh police chief, the Lieutenant Meng Vimeandara took his patrol to crack down on a group of people who were trying to enjoy a few quiet games during the Khmer New Year in their luxury residences in Sangkat Tum Nup, Khan Meanchey, Phnom Penh.

The police had been alerted to go and break up the party because the party-goers were gambling for money. So the authorities came in discreetly and politely educated the gamblers, who agreed to stop gambling immediately and to never play games for money again.
